The cover of my first novel NEMONYMOUS NIGHT (Chomu Press) has just been released. I am very excited.

Thanks. :-)
Sorry, that image was too big. Hopefully, it can be seen much better here:

When is it out and available Des? I want to buy it, read it and review it to within an inch of its life. This looks spectacular and the cover is a masterpiece of surrealism.

Cheers

NEMONYMOUS NIGHT has now been sent to print by the publisher ready for its due June publication.
To celebrate I've now fully constructed my continuing 'Under Construction' site about it and given it a direct feed from www.nemonymous.com.

Des - will there be a way to get a signed copy direct from you? If not, I'll just order a copy and hope that I can pop it in the post to you (as I've done previously) for you to sign for me please? Thanks!

Thanks Des! I won't actually order a copy yet then, but if they start to sell out - or if it looks unlikely you'll be able to do me a signed copy direct - please let me know. I'd hate to miss out on getting a copy, signed or unsigned.

Meanwhile, I understand the books themselves are in existence and they look real good! :-)

That review kindly picked out this quote from NN. Thanks, review.

"Even fiction has its own version of pitiful senility amid the other realities to which it ever tries to cling."

Publication Date – 15 June 2011


Nemonymous Night is not an easy read; however — and here’s the rub — it’s entirely readable.

Did I imagine it - but did the episode of Doctor Who last night open with cars etc floating in the sky ... a bit like the cover of NN?

Stock-taking so far:

Since publication by Chômu Press in June 2011, very few people have told me privately or mentioned publicly that they have read this novel (disappointing news). None so far have said they dislike it (good news).

Reviews so far: http://nemonymousnight.wordpress.com/reviews/

I started reading it but then got waylaid - I'm a terrible reader these days. It's next on my sea of TBRs. I liked very much what I did read.
I dread putting out anything by me, facing whatever reaction/non reaction comes. :-(

I have to confess I haven't read it yet, Des. Problem is, I tend to be more of a short story person - I find it difficult to start on a novel for some strange reason. It is on my TBR pile though - not sure when I'll get to it. Sorry.

I have a feeling that when The Last Balcony comes out, that will actually leap-frog Nemonymous Night on my TBR pile simply because it will be full of your shorts!

Thanks, Tony and Caroline. NN is one crazy book, and I would think it probably the craziest thing I'd ever read should I have read it by someone else. ;)

Now you're tempting me - I do love crazy stuff! I really enjoyed Weirdtongue (I managed that as it was shorter!). Is NN similar in terms of strangeness?

Pleased to discover today a rare review of 'Nemonymous Night' posted early April:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/292575122

"One of the most horrifying images was that, at the centre of the earth, is a huge face which oozes blood from every pustule and pore and says ‘For once this is no dream – this is fucking real – so deal with it!’"
